Preventing bad losses from snowballing into more serious skids is a crucial skill of good teams, and after taking the first two games in this four-game set against the Red Sox, the Yankees needed to do just that after a dud on Saturday.
Rodón was as efficient as you could ask for in the early going, retiring the top of Boston's order in the first in quick fashion... 15 pitches to get through his first two frames.
The Yankees' bats began to have his back in their next turn... building on that 1-0 lead in the third, beginning with Gleyber Torres' 14th homer of the season.
Rodón settled back in and turned in another great outing on the whole... allowing just the two earned runs and striking out five Red Sox.
